The new bar will be at 2237 Old U.S. 1, about a mile from the new Apex Friendship High School and in the middle of a formerly rural area that’s rapidly developing.

A number of new housing developments have been built nearby in recent years, with more on the way. The town also plans to build a large 92-acre park just down the street, in hopes of attracting plenty of weekend visitors with youth sports tournaments.

The owners said they’re excited to be part of the area’s growth.

The town’s plan for the area, they wrote, “will feature restaurants, grocery and similar amenities meant to serve the thousands of newly built homes in the immediate surroundings.”

The current location is at 219 Fish Drive, Angier. For more, go to viciousfishes.com.
